Use Inline Sizescale (for apparel)? → Toggle YES or NO (Do not enable unless you are certain of its purpose.)
Overview
The “Use Inline Sizescale” setting is intended for advanced apparel configurations where a brand or style requires multiple size scales (for example, Size Scale A and Size Scale B) to be used across different SKUs of the same style.
This feature allows you to explicitly assign a size scale to a style, ensuring that the correct size set (e.g., XS–XL, 2–12, 28–38, etc.) is applied.
When to Use Inline Sizescale
Enable “Use Inline Sizescale” only when:
You have overlapping sizes across different size scales, and
A single style must be displayed under a specific size scale to avoid confusion.
The Problem This Solves
When using Full Layout (FLL) apparel formatting, the system automatically displays all size scales and maps each SKU to its corresponding size column.
However, if the same size label appears in more than one size scale, the system cannot determine which scale to use for that SKU.
Example
| Sizescale A | Sizescale B |
|---|---|
| XS | K |
| S | L |
| M | M |
| L | N |
| XL | O |
If you have a SKU like 1000-BLK-M, both size scales include an “M” size.
Without inline sizescale codes, the system doesn’t know whether “M” belongs to Sizescale A or Sizescale B.
The Solution
By enabling “Use Inline Sizescale” and setting the InlineSizescaleCode field for your inventory items, you can explicitly assign which size scale each style should use.
| Style | InlineSizescaleCode | Displays Under |
|---|---|---|
| 1000 | A | Sizescale A |
| 2000 | B | Sizescale B |
This ensures that 1000-BLK-M only appears in the “M” column under Sizescale A, removing ambiguity in size mapping.
Important Notes
Each SKU must have the correct sizescale code populated in your inventory system.
This setting affects the visual layout of invoices using Full Layout (FLL) formatting.
-
Without inline sizescale codes, SKUs with overlapping sizes may:
Display in the wrong column, or
Cause formatting/display errors in invoices.
When Not to Use
Do not enable this setting if:
You are unsure of its purpose, or
Your products already follow one consistent size scale per style.
Incorrect use can cause data inconsistencies where the system may display conflicting size scales (e.g., showing “Large” under both Scale A and Scale C). This can disrupt apparel formatting and create confusion in reporting and order entry.
Recommendation
Most users should leave this setting off unless directed otherwise by your system administrator or integration support.
If you believe multiple size scales are required for your catalog, contact your Blastramp representative for guidance.
